e organised this trip ourselves and, remarkably, each separate element worked. Mark stopped in Bath after his last exam only long enough for a quick drink with classmates to celeb rate the end of the exams. He dove to meet Jenny, who'd been working in London all day, off the Gatwick Express. We stopped overnight at the Copthorne Hotel, Gatwick http://www.millenniumhotels.co.uk/copthornegatwick/index.html?&cid=nb5534 before our early morning flight to Sharm el Sheikh. The taxi was waiting for us at Sharm to take us the hour's drive north to Dahab. The room at the Hilton http://www.hiltonworldresorts.com/Resorts/Dahab/index.html was spacious and had a balcony and hammock. And Sinai Divers http://www.sinaidivers.com/english.htm were expecting us so we were able to dive straight away on Friday morning.
Our first dive was at The Islands - a lovely site with a tricky entry via a swim-through in a break in the coral reef. Jenny was nervous but was well in control of her bouyancy, which was essential as we wove in and out of the labyrinth of coral outcrops.
